About Niogenta F Cream 20 gm
Niogenta F Cream 20 gm is a dermatological medication primarily used to treat bacterial skin infections, such as eczema and dermatitis. Bacterial infection occurs when harmful bacteria grow in the body and causes disease. It can infect any part of the body and multiply very quickly. Eczema is a condition in which skin patches become inflamed, itchy, cracked, and rough. Some types of eczema can also lead to blisters (a small bubble on the skin filled with serum and is caused by friction, burning, or other damage). Dermatitis is a skin condition that causes itchy, dry skin or a rash on swollen, reddened skin.
Niogenta F Cream 20 gm is composed of two medicines: Beclomethasone dipropionate (corticosteroid) and Fusidic acid (antibiotic). Beclomethasone dipropionate belongs to the class of corticosteroids. Corticosteroids have anti-inflammatory, immunosuppressive, and antiproliferative (inhibit cell growth) properties. Beclomethasone dipropionate blocks prostaglandins (chemical messengers) production that make the affected area red, swollen, and itchy. It effectively treats inflammation and itchiness caused by eczema (inflamed and itchy skin) and psoriasis (skin cells build up and form scales and itchy, dry patches). On the other hand, Fusidic acid is an antibiotic and prevents the synthesis of essential proteins required by bacteria to carry out vital functions. It is used to treat infections like dermatitis (inflammation of the skin), spots, cuts, grazes, impetigo (weeping, crusty and swollen patch of skin), and folliculitis (inflammation of one or more hair follicles).
Your doctor will advise the appropriate dose that suits your infection. Niogenta F Cream 20 gm has common side effects like itching, dryness, redness, and burning sensation at the application site.
